  • Fig. IB shows a plot of size change of various particles immediately after coating versus change at two weeks after coating and sitting in water. A remarkable difference in membrane coating homogeneity and in particle stability between the products of the two methods was demonstrated. Across a spectrum of NPs of cell membranes, FNC products showed a smaller size change and better particle colloidal stability than the bulk- sonication products. Specifically, for many of the MSN subtypes and PLGA nanoparticles, the aggregation seen at day 14 was significantly reduced. The lower polydispersity index (PDI) for FNC products immediately after coating demonstrated a more complete coating. In the sonication method, ultrasound wave-energy pulverizes the cell membrane structure, and membrane fragments re-assemble around the nanoparticle backbone.
  • PDI polydispersity index
  • Such coating protocol is not standardized for bulk containers because the sonication power-frequency is not balanced or optimized, and the quantity of cell membrane charge over the backbone surface is not well-controlled. While electrostatic interactions are the driving force in both approaches, the FNC method achieves ultra-fast and homogeneous coating by using turbulent mixing, including turbulent intershearing flow in the microchamber. This dynamic mixing is more effective than sonication in breaking cell membranes into small fragments and mixing the components to achieve even coating.
  • FNC products showed excellent dispersion (low PDI) at nearly all membrane/MSN ratios (Fig. 1C), while sonication products showed significantly higher PDI values.
  • FNC also yielded better nanoparticle charge conversion than sonication, which suggests a more complete cell- membrane coating (Fig. ID).

MSN-CpG and free CpG had no significant protective benefit, consistent with previous studies; both treatments showed a median survival of 29 d, similar to the median 26.5 d survival for the negative control. Both FNC- and sonication-produced MSN-CpG@CM groups showed tumor growth inhibition, but the FNC-produced vaccine had a much greater inhibitory effect and longer survival (Figs. 16A- 16B).

Without anti-CTLA-4, the median survival was extended from 18 d for the blank control group to 34 d for the bulk sonication MSN-CpG@CM group and 38 d for the FNC MSN-CpG@CM group (Figs. 14C and 14E). With anti-CTLA-4, the median survival was over 150 days for both FNC and sonication MSN-CpG@CM groups, indicating that combined immunotherapy produced synergistic antitumor effects. The combined therapy using FNC- produced nanovaccines with anti-CTLA-4 had the strongest antitumor effect (Figs. 17A-17B).

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de synthèse de produits nanothérapeutiques biomimétiques de membrane cellulaire qui peut comprendre le revêtement de particules de noyau avec des matériaux de membrane cellulaire à l'aide de nanocomplexation flash (FNC). Le FNC est un procédé de mélange turbulent et d'auto-assemblage qui peut produire des produits nanothérapeutiques revêtus de membrane cellulaire d'une manière reproductible et évolutive. Les particules revêtues de membrane cellulaire produites par FNC démontrent une agrégation, une polydispersité et un potentiel zêta inférieurs à ceux des nanoparticules préparées par des procédés de revêtement classiques, tels que la sonication en masse classique. Ainsi, le présent procédé permet d'obtenir un revêtement plus complet, homogène et contrôlable que les procédés classiques de sonication en masse.
